Christmas Humbug Trio

These little humbugs are intended to use up those scrap pieces of canvas that are left over from larger projects.  Each humbug is stitched on a 6" by 8" piece of 18 count mono canvas.  Full instructions including diagrams and thread lists are included for all 3 humbug designs.

Space has been given throughout the pattern for you to add your own thread choices.  There are an infinite number of colour and thread combinations – use your imagination and raid your stash!

A full tutorial on how to assemble the humbugs into their sweet little irregular pyramid shape is also included in the pattern.

Humbug #1  features a full coverage design with only two stitches and is stitched with just two contrasting threads.  The stitches are smaller (and take a wee bit longer to stitch),  but the resulting textured pattern is very pleasing both to the eye and to the touch! 

Humbug #2 offers 5 different counted stitches in rows (mini band sampler style), it’s a perfect piece for those newer to canvas work or for those needing a quick Christmas finish!  The design stitches up quickly and uses only 3 different DMC Perle #5 cotton threads.

Humbug #3 features just 3 stitches.  Lacy Jessicas and Upright Double Crosses covering this humbug remind one of poinsettias.  Using just 2 threads, this humbug can be stitched in a night or two. 

Each humbug has a stitch count of 100w x 50h (flat) and a finished size of approximately 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2"
